Avoiding Massive Car Suspension System Repairs

Avoiding Massive Car Suspension System Repairs

One of the most expensive problems that you can have with your car is an issue with the suspension system. Of course, if you have an extended warranty that covers the suspension, it can give you real peace of mind. If not, here are some of the reasons you want to consider one.

Potholes cause about $3 billion in damage per year – That stat is according to a report from AAA, and it shows how suspension issues can occur for anyone when you least expect it. All you have to do is come upon an unavoidable pothole at high speeds and you may be in for a huge repair bill. Keeping your tires properly inflated and slowing down as much as you safely can for potholes are two ways to reduce the damage.

There is a lot that can go wrong with the suspension of a car – To illustrate this point, consider the following five common repairs that need to be performed on a car’s suspension system: alignment, springs, shocks, control arms, ball joints.

Repairs can cost thousands – A ball joint may cost you anywhere from $350 to $2,200 according to one report. The entire suspension system can be upwards of $5,000 if you experience serious damage.
